When it comes to free form crochet most crochet fans who
take up on trying it are keen on combining yarns and shapes into lovely looking
finishes.

However tempting , the multitude of colors might seem a bit
too much for somebody with a taste for a more classic apparel.

I must admit I rarely follow a pattern or a chart without making some kind of modifications to it so the piece of
clothing I make would have a certain hint of originality. Apart from this habit
of mine I must say that anything boho chic , with a touch of free spirited look
tempts me to try making it.

The above being said, with fall closing in and a closet
filled with thicker yarn are tempting me to try making a functional pullover.
So here is a pattern I am very fond of which will soon turn into a stunning
fall project.

The crochet fans in love with patchwork concept will love
the free form crochet air about this one, but those inclined to look for a
designer look will surely appreciate the Free People inspired finish.

The beauty of this pullover is the fact that you can combine the motifs in any way you like. Of course you can use more or less than the ones from the inpiration model but make sure you go for a looser fit to get the chic finich.

Sl st to get to the center of the next chain section. Ch 3 , work 2dc ch 5 3dc ( shell) , ch 5 link with sc in the next chain section, ch 5 , work 3dc ch5 3dc ( shell) in the following chain section...and so on. Sl st to join.

The arrows indicate where to join the motifs .

When working the last row of each motif make sure you join as indicated.

Like in the most cases the pattern also comes with a display idea. However...depending on the thickness of the yarn,the size of the hook and your size the number of individual motifs may vary.

The smartest idea is to measure the first motif and calculate according to your own measurements.

Individual motifs are extremely easy to play with and combine , especially because they can be placed so they will fit a particular figure.
